Jumper styles for apple shape (with new mum yum)

I pretty much joined Mumsnet for the love of this board! Now hoping please for some advice.

I'm a typical apple shape and even more so 9 weeks after birth of first child. I can never find a jumper that looks flattering, so have stuck to cardigans for years. I'm now sick of them! I see people in gorgeous jumpers all the time and I think they look so much more polished - even the casual ones. I want to wear jumpers!

Any advice on shapes / or specific suggestions? Happy to spend up to about £50 (possibly more once the remaining baby weight has gone). Allergic to wool - never tried cashmere though. Tummy usually a 14-16 whilst everything else is a 12-14

I'm an apple and I get on really well with H&M jumpers. Yes, it's a bit 'fast fashion' and they don't last forever but in terms of shape, style and colour choice, you can't go wrong. Hush also have some nice ones.

I wear boat or V necks as these balance out my hips. Longline knits are your friend; they cover a multitude of sins around the tum and make your torso look longer rather than cutting it in half by finishing on the hips.
